The 10 best Resorts in Cancun, Mexico

April 23, 2023 Merry Kessler

Sunny Cancun has much more to offer than its party-town reputation might suggest. Plenty of gorgeous, drama-free family resorts cater to folks who want to experience the tropical Yucatan climate. There are significant Mayan ruins here, such as El Rey and the Yamil Lu’um, a crumbling tower of pale gray stone. Learn more about this ancient civilization at the Museo Maya de Cancun. For a literal taste of Mexico, take a tour of the Museo Sensorial del Tequila.

Wonderful!

Reviewed By Jacksonmm1990

It's a wonderful place! Mexico is already a great place, but this place is pretty good. I don't know why but I was especially amazed by the quality of the bartender. He was a friend who spoke three languages. I forgot his name but the bartender was great. The beach has a wonderful ambiance. I loved it a lot. Next time I will come with my wife.

Shout Out to Azul and the Entertainment Team

Reviewed By charcharblinks

Our experience at the resort was very enjoyable. We especially loved the food and service at Azul, one of the restaurants on the resort. Service and food were impeccable. We tried every restaurant on the resort at least once, but our favorite was Azul. Any time that they were open, that's where we went except when we weren't on the resort. Shout out to the hostess Iris, always very pleasant and the waiters that waited on us Señors Martin, Juan Carlos and everyone! Of course, hats off to the Chef (amazing food!)! While we didn't drink alcoholic beverages that much during the trip, what we had were really tasty! They definitely have really good bartenders! This all-inclusive resort has a lot of perks, and we had a very positive experience here. The other thing that we really enjoyed and have amazing things to say about are their entertainment team (or as they call them SPORTS TEAM!); they had great energy, and were amazing at hyping up the events and games. We loved playing volleyball with them. The resort can definitely count them as a great addition to their team! The only thing we didn't like was the ventilation and the air circulation in our room. When we hang our towels up, they didn't quite dry, and the bedsheets sometimes felt damp. The fan would also clunk really loud after it's done doing its thing. Other than this, we had an awesome experience! Everyone was really helpful when we'd practice our broken Spanish, when we had questions or needed some help with something! Overall, definitely recommend the resort! Eat at restaurant Azul, and participate in the entertainment events with their "Sports Team"!

Enjoy the pleasure of being unique at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancun All Inclusive Spa Resort. THE EXPERIENCE THAT REDEFINES THE ALL INCLUSIVE

I had higher expectations for “The Grand” Fiesta Americana. I was disappointed with the service and maintenance.

Reviewed By Dora H

Very dissatisfied with the service and experience.. definitely not a “Grand”. Poor maintenance of the establishment and very poor service. We were told no alcohol served for 2 days without any prior notice, we had to chase after a server to bring us a drink and we were denied food from restaurants be served to our kids unless we had reservations. Buffet selection is not kid friendly. The bathroom had so many issues starting with a door that didn’t lock, rust on the tub, paint on the floor and peeled plastic shower head. I could go on but the point I am making is that it was not a grand experience at all.

WHAT A COME BACK LIVE AQUA!

Reviewed By W4499GYjenniferh

Where to start..... This would be my 12 visit to LA since 2012. There was a reason we kept returning year after year and sometimes more than once a year. The love for this resort and it's employees runs deep. A few years ago, maybe around 2019 things started to change at LA, from what we were accustomed to persay. Pre pandemic and pre remodel we started to notice little things here and there that hadn't been an issue before. During remodel and pandemic we definitely noticed a difference but shrugged it off due to all the things that were against the current to make things go accordingly for the resort and staff. I can assure you. LA was not the only resort who suffered. We wanted to return to see our "family" and see the changes. However, after last year's trip in May 2021 I was going to book at Punta Cana LA. Our friends wanted to give LA another try now that restrictions were lifting and things were getting back to normal. Here's where the good part comes in........ From check in to check out EVERYTHING HAS IMPROVED FOR THE BETTER..... The old LA is making a come back and I couldn't be happier about it. It's not just the greetings and hugs from Aqua Club, it's the entire experience. I've been an Aqua Lover for 10 years and I hope I am for another 10 years. If they keep up with this, I most definitely will be. Attention to detail is back like the old days. Deivid Martinez, hands down is one of the BEST. I have had the pleasure of booking with him for many years and LA would not run as well without this man. Trust me! The open food in Aqua club is fully back, YAY!!! The hugs are back, double YAY!!! Now, onto some very important people who make LA so special. Aqua club: Rossy Santana, Juan Daniel, Eladio, Graciel, Aldo, Guiermo for nightly drinks. Mar is slso an amazing addition to LA Aqua Club. She's beautiful too! Pool, waitstaff: Jonathan Chaire, Daniel Sierra, Katia (love this new firecracker), Andres Mesas, David Gomez, Manuel, Aminael just to name a few of the most amazing people on the planet... Jonathan has been managing here since we started coming I believe. He's a master at his job. He gives great hugs too! Ha! Andres, David and Aminael are some of the hardest working people I know. From sun up to sundown you will not got hungry or thirsty. Our dearest David Gomez, BIG SHOUT OUT TO HIM.... I had forgotten my trusty beer tumbler, and here comes David to the rescue. Not only did he bring me HIS Yeti tumbler, he also brought me his little yeti cooler. This guy is one of our favorites and put me first before his own needs. We were just gonna try to go across to mall and buy one, but there are not any to be found. He saved my week for sure. Dinners at LA do not dissapoint... MB, Chef Wilian Canul is your man... Best cuisine by far along side Rohibi, "Roy" who kills it at service. My favorite restaurant besides MB would be Hidden Garden. YUMMMMM!!! I miss it so bad. Now, The new butler service with suites. HOLY COW!! It has always said "butlers included" but this is a newer spin on it. Hands down, ROSSY AND ELADIO are AMAZING!!! Every need was met and most times without even asking. Rossy, not only is she stunning but she is incredible at her new role. Her sweet demeanor and personality mixed with a hint of sass. We are not super needy people, but I have no fear that she strives to make every guest 100% satisfied. Hence my statement of the old LA is making a comeback. ***SILENT DISCO*** If you haven't tried it, you need to. Don't miss out. Best fun I've had in a long time. Egos was the place to be. After all these years we normally end our nights stopping off at Aqua Club and heading to the room. Ha! Party poopers. More like exhausted, but I will forever make time for Egos from here on out. What a way to spend our 22nd wedding anniversary. LA for the WIN!! I know I am probably forgetting something, I hope I'm not. There were so many wonderful memories made this trip. Thank you LA and all the amazing staff that go above and beyond every single day. We love you! The Carter's!

Perfect wedding

Reviewed By DeeDita

We have been planning our wedding with FACC for a little less than a year. It started with one vacation visit in June 2021 where we fell in love with the resort. During this exact visit we decided this was the only place to get married. We initiated our plans with Miriam, our wedding coordinator. From our home in the US, Miriam kept up communication with us on everything we wanted for our special day. Fast forward to this weekend, surrounded by a small group of family, we had the most perfect day. We cannot begin to describe how perfect our day was. The details including the junior suite, champagne, snacks while we got ready, sitting with us to finalize details, our moms getting first class treatment, pool service with our friends, the wedding dinner/cake, the decor at the wedding, the resort food, we could go on and on. Our guests had a great time and were so sad to leave. We could not have imagined a better vacation or wedding day. We would do it all over again!!
